- Description:
- Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same
time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the
outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.
Some features:
Connection cache for SMTP, DSN status notifications, IP version 6, Plug-in
support for multiple SASL implementations (Cyrus, Dovecot), TLS encryption and
authentication, Configurable status notification message text, Access control
per client/sender/recipient/etc, Content filter (built-in, external before
queue, external after queue), Berkeley DB database, LDAP database, MySQL
database, PostgreSQL database, Maildir and mailbox format, Virtual domains,
VERP envelope return addresses and others.

TLS=on: Secure network connection support via TLS
====> Kerberos network authentication protocol type: you can only select none or one of them

- Options name:
- mail_postfix-current
- USES:
- cpe shebangfix ssl
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- To use postfix instead of sendmail:
- clear sendmail queue and stop the sendmail daemons
Run the following commands to enable postfix during startup:
- sysrc postfix_enable="YES"
- sysrc sendmail_enable="NONE"
If postfix is *not* already activated in /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf
- mv /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf.old
- install -d /usr/local/etc/mail
- install -m 0644 /usr/local/share/postfix/mailer.conf.postfix /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf
Disable sendmail(8) specific tasks,
add the following lines to /etc/periodic.conf(.local):
daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO"
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"
daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"
daily_submit_queuerun="NO"
If you are using SASL, you need to make sure that postfix has access to read
the sasldb file. This is accomplished by adding postfix to group mail and
making the /usr/local/etc/sasldb* file(s) readable by group mail (this should
be the default for new installs).
- If upgrading
- If you are upgrading from prior postfix version, please see the README
files for recommended changes to your configuration and additional
http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html
Incompatible change with snapshot 20200920
==========================================
Internal protocols have changed. You need to "postfix stop" before
updating, or before backing out to an earlier release, otherwise
long-running daemons (pickup, qmgr, verify, tlsproxy, postscreen)
may fail to communicate with the rest of Postfix (warnings, timeouts).
The purpose of this change is to produce better error messages, for
example, when someone configures the discard daemon as a bounce
service in master.cf, or vice versa.
This change will break third-party code that implements a
Postfix-internal protocol such as qpsmtpd. Programs that depend on
Postfix internal details are not supported.
- If removing:
- If you remove postfix permanent, adjust / remove the the following file:
- /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf

Fix ports with a non-conforming PORTVERSION
This is a followup to PR 56958.
The following ports have a hyphen in their version number:
Toni Andjelkovic <toni@soth.at>
devel/pcsc-lite:
1.2.0-rc1 => 1.2.0.r1
John R. Shannon <john@johnrshannon.com>
devel/gdb53-act:
5.3-act => 5.3
Vivek Khera <khera@kciLink.com>
mail/postfix-current:
2.0.14-20030812 => 2.0.14.20030812
PORTEPOCH => 2
neither pkg_version nor portupgrade see the part of the version
before the last '-', i.e. devel/pcsc-lite is seen as version
rc1, 1.3.0-b2 would be regarded as a previous version.
